Glyphs problems

I just bought Glyphs and have just been working with it for the most basic things (no contextual alternates, ligatures, masters, etc.) and have already run into a handful of different error messages and a file turn "corrupted" for whatever reason. And while the developer makes an admirable effort to address everyone's problems, it's just a confusing mess so far. Is anyone else having issues with Glyphs?

The corrupted file issue I ran into is just a misused autosaving mechanism of OS X Lion: You open a UFO package, the app internally converts it to its native Glyphs document, you then edit the font, the autosave triggers off and saves the Glyphs document over the UFO. If you change the extension of such a corrupted file from .ufo to .glyphs it will read as nothing had really happened. Before this gets fixed, you can restore pre-Lion saving behavior in the app's preferences or just duplicate the opened UFO as a Glyphs file before making any edits to a font.

You might also disarm the control freak portion of Lion that forces the damn versions thing on you. There is a preference in Glyphs that will do this for you.
Are you using the current version of Glyphs? Since Georg posted the update, I have had far fewer problems.

Time Machine is terribly unreliable. It just stops working with no explanation, requiring users to run through a series of possible fixes until it works again. This is exacerbated by Apple’s continued inability to produce a reliable automatic external disk mounting daemon, something every other UNIX vendor worked out in the 1990s. In worst case scenarios Time Machine stops recognizing the backups that it created, and will not back up anything else to the same disk partition until the old files are gone.

On top of the reliability issues, Time Machine’s interface is an atrocity; breaking away from anything resembling Mac UI standards for some addled Star Trek themed nonsense, reliant on cheesy 3D effects that have never been optimized to run quickly.

Every single person responsible for Time Machine should have been run out of Apple and the entire design and codebase should have been strangled in its crib.

Upgrading probably won’t help, but a fresh install of Mac OS might. I had a lot of problems om Glyphs on my four-year-old laptop until I got a new computer this year. On the new computer Glyphs is very stable and responsive. I suspect that this is because Glyphs relies heavily on Apple’s Cocoa API and Cocoa gets mucked up over years of upgrades.
